Who Goes There?
Sir,
That would be “Who Goes There?” AKA “The Thing From Another World” AKA, “The Thing”, by John Campbell. The actor was James Arness, AKA Marshall Dillon of Gunsmoke.
...and if I win, can I have the points paid in Velveeta? I’m having chip ‘n dip with the neighbors tonight.
John W Campbell, circa 1938. Cheese can have my share of Velveeta.
Cheese_Tensor WINS!
I figured I’d get you guys on the James Arness part. Dang! I gotta try harder next time!
Velveeta is on the way via US Postal Service. Look for it in about 12 years.
OCM and Oink must not have seen this yet
12 Years! It should be just about ripe then. I don’t like my neighbors anyway.
Good one, Skipper.
RP should get a percentage since he knew Campbells middle initial and the year.
Winner’s quiz now:
In the bomb blast article that caused the aforesaid mutations, someone mentioned the movie “Them!”. Now....what very-famous sci-fi actor was in this movie as a (uncredited) bit actor? (S)He has one scene only (I think) and about one line.
Winner will get a free drink on the Skipper.
NO IMDB-looking, by God!
I remember that movie! Dang! Wracking my brain, all I can come up with is Raquel Welch or Ann Margaret. It was about that time period, I think. Now I’ll have to go sneak off to IMDB to satisfy my curiosity. Don’t worry, I won’t tell.
ARRGH! Now I gotta go get the DVD and watch for a certain actor/actress ....
If you peeked, did you note the previous sci-fi movie (s)he was in - and the part (s)he played!?
Kinda makes ya think, yes?
A quickie that Gouda won’t find challenging. No I’m gonna make it more difficult!
A very short tale by a famous writer, in which a lighthouse horn draws the attention of a creature it didn’t want to meet. Made into THE first monster movie I saw. The movie has almost nothing to do with the book (including the title), except it had that one scene, but altered.
P.S. I was out for a bit.

When I butcher hogs we eat the snouts and the trotters first.
These new mutated oink pig trotters look a little lean, damn radiation.
Have you ever had pickled trotters?

Oink,
I will be silent and let others venture guesses. I know which flick it was and know the title of the movie and the scene in question, but can’t remember the title and author of the story upon which it was based. I could utilize my extensive Net tentacles and find out, but I’d rather wait. How ‘bout 33% credit for effort expended?
The ____ (warns off ships if fog too thick to see a light)
Chronicles.

Sheee-ite! I remember reading that short story ages ago. However, since I’ve read books by every sci-fi author in existence my poor tired brain can’t place the author. I’m gonna make a wild ass guess and say either Ray Bradbury or Harlan Ellison. I’m sure it was one of them. Dang! I wish I hadn’t thrown out all those paperbacks years ago.
BTW, Oink! Are you a piggish owl or an owlish pig?
Ask Cordwainer Smith, he would know. That’sa Owl?
CORRECT! Bradbury.
The second “The Thing” was the physically grossest movie since the remake of “The Fly”. Remember?:
You’ve gotta be f**kin’ kiddin’ me!

THE SKIPPER is obviously the horny dude on the right with his tongue hanging out.
Go ahead! Make my day. I dare anyone to agree with that ....
Frank Zappa had a song about flying pigs
FZ: Tonight you guys are going to try and figure out the pigs’ music
Spider: You see if we understood it, maybe we could help the pigs understand
John: Nah, the problem with that is you think the pigs are essentially kind at heart . . .Spider: Aw, I didn’t say that . . .
John: But the pigs are essentially pigs
John: If we could either move the smoke or if we turn the cold light on it and shrink it so they can’t even salute it . . .
Spider: It’s . . . it’s really . . . It’s sort of the opposite event. You see it was a long time ago when Pigs and Ponies used to inter-breed with people on farms . . . and they reached a state where . . . where like the pigs were . . . communicable. They brought ‘em in and tried . . . tried to teach them things. They’re just as likely to live in the ocean as anywhere else . . . Wouldn’t get rid of them, really. Just means that the ocean would be just as unsafe as every other place. That’s what happened. Ya know, they tried to put ‘em places where they wouldn’t make it, but they made it anyway
John: They wanted to use yaks, tooPig With Wings: EE . . . EE . . . EE . . . EE
Spider: What’s that?
John: That’s the Pig with Wings
FZ also had a good song about Jewish girls.

ZW(#19) Just add toast, and I can supply the entire breakfast.
Zappa once responded to a noisy audience by performing 15 minutes of pig noises.
My question in #10—“The Foghorn”. The different-named movie had a “Harry” scene where a big dinosaur/lizzard/qqch? eats a cop firing his pistol at the Beast. Early Darwin Award.
P.S. ‘Harry’ & ‘Beast’—they are clues.

Macker,
You’re getting warm…
Skipper - judgement call? No other close entries and all that stuff? Reveal the answer sez vous plais?
Oink - I was completely full of sh*t. I was about 20,000 units and 6 slimy arms off. Damn.
Have some velveeta…
...and Thing #2 was awesome. When the guy’s chest popped open I sh*t wolverines.
Me thinks Oink & OCM look pretty cute in those two
mutated pictures ha!
My, oh my....what lovely blue eyes!
The Skipper is definately the first one in OCM’s post.
The one on the left ...yes! the one on the left
i just don’t see him as the one on the right.

"The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms” from the two page(?) Bradbury short story “The Foghorn” in which a dinosaur answers the lighthouse’s HOOONNNKK! seeking his mate. The crew turn the horn off and save themselves in the story but not in the book. Harry Harryhousen did the special effects; also for “IT Came From Beneath the Sea”, with its giant six-testacled** octopus (really ‘sexapus/sixapus) as ExtraCheese alluded to.
“THEM” with its giant ants from a nuke-u-lar crater, starred James Arness and James Whitmore, and was the highest quality mutant-monster movie ever made. It had suspense and was presented as a mystery.
**That’s a joke, son

OK, Oink - You gave the answer (BF20KF) and you guessed MY wrong guess (ICFBTS).
You can have the velveeta.
The “two-bit” actor that was uncredited in “Them” was....Spock. He was the telex operator who asks, “what’s going on?” or whatever-his-line-was, to the military clerk.
The first (I think) Sci-Fi flick he was in was “Zombies of the Stratosphere”, and he played the alien monster - Narab.
Talk about cheesy! But you could say he came full-circle in his career. Playing aliens, that is.
I have no idea what you guys are talking about with the movies/books. But, I do think that Oink and OCM look awfully cute on their wee little legs.
They will say: “But how his arms and legs are thin!” …
I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.Posted by Oink

Cheese:

I?m suzy creemcheese because
I?ve never worn fake eyelashes
In my whole life
And I never made it on surfing set
And I never made it on beatnik set

Fouls:
Fouls include: hitting below the belt, kicking, holding, using an elbow, hitting with the inside of the glove, hitting with an open glove, hitting on the back of the head or body, ignoring the referee’s instruction to break, and using offensive language. If a BMEWS-er commits a foul, s/he is given a caution. If he gets two cautions for the same offence s/he will get a warning, which could lead to a point deduction. Three warnings mean disqualification.

Doll: OCM is entirely correct. At BMEWS it is very bad taste to personally attack or insult women. We only do that to friends.

Posted by SouthernDoll

just as my minds eye would see them, spot on skipper.
Doll: oink is entirely tooo correct. At BMEWS we don’t personally attack homos either. Let’s face it, most homos only became queer so they could advance in the corporate world and get a raise. Basically, to make a slimey dollar. This is a personal matter between these ButtFuckers and their God.
oink is wrong when he incorrectly states that 3 warnings lead to disqualification. All the old timers here know it’s 150 warnings but the Skipper only gives one. Unless of course all the rules are changin’ again when I wasn’t payin’ attention. Personally, I think the Skipper is a little tooo liberal giving some of these lunatic Deaniacs a warning before he makes them kick the rock on down the road, and I’m a moderate.
I can’t remember anyone being kicked out of BMEWS. I have sent over 500 emails to the Skipper tryin’ to get OCM banned and the Skipper just has an automatic email responce that says, “Let’s give OCM, the asswipe, one more chance.”

I remember when you came back to BMEWS proclaimin’ John Kerry wasn’t a homo. Then you said, “Woof, I’ll bet you $50 that you can’t prove that John Kerry is a fag.” Then I emailed you those pictures of John Kerry with a twizzler up his butt with that stoopid grin on his face as he was lettin’ his so-called “lover” urinate on his head. Those were disgusting photos of John Kerry so lucky President Bush wiped the mat with Kerry to win a 2nd term with a ManDate. Yes, President Bush ravaged that screaming faggot John Kerry much like Jinjis Kahn. That’s why freedom is on the march.
EroticDoll: We have a big problem around here with homos showing up with female avatars. You’re not one of those creeps are you? Is there some way you could prove to us that you are a woman? Maybe some kind of streamin’ vidio? We don’t want to be taken for a ride, again, by some bald headed faggot tryin’ to get his rocks off.
OCM: You still owe me $50, remember

It’s gonna ge OK, Doll, I’m subject to fits just like Woofie myself; sometimes in my head I ‘m back in Phuc Hue, RVN. I’ll pick up scissors and start creeping around the house muttering, ”Gooks! Gooks!”. This is especially upsetting to my family, since both of my boys married Asian girls.
With ZW** the key phrase is “Better Blatant That Latent”; He has all these suppressed homoerotic desires & they cause him to lash at at lovely, innocent folk. Feeling all better now? Hi, Woofie, all in fun!!!

You mean the question, “Feeling better now”? “As in feeling better, Baby?”. Like “The Therapeutic “
?
Bear with my obtuseness Doll, judging by relative typo-percentage, I’m almost as
ed up as OCM.
If true, the world is a poorer place.
